Pretomanid Warnings
The following safety information outlines critical risks and precautions associated with the use of this medication. Carefully review these points and consult your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns.
Liver Damage: The combination of pretomanid, Sirturo (bedaquiline), and linezolid (Zyvox) may cause liver damage. This risk is heightened if you have a history of liver issues but can occur in anyone. Regular blood tests will be conducted by your healthcare provider to monitor liver health. Avoid alcohol during treatment and inform your provider about all medications or supplements you're taking. Immediately report symptoms such as fatigue, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, right-side stomach pain, or yellowing of the eyes or skin, as these may indicate liver problems.
Low Blood Counts: Linezolid (Zyvox), often used with pretomanid and Sirturo (bedaquiline), can lower blood counts, increasing the risk of severe bleeding and infections. Your provider will monitor your blood counts and may adjust medication doses if needed. Seek immediate medical attention for persistent bleeding, infections, or fevers.
Heart Rhythm Problems: Sirturo (bedaquiline) can affect heart rhythms, potentially leading to QT prolongation, a serious condition. Low blood levels of calcium, magnesium, or potassium can also contribute to this risk. Your provider will perform regular heart scans (EKG) and blood tests to monitor these levels. Inform your provider about your complete medical history, as certain conditions may increase your risk. Seek emergency care if you experience a rapid heartbeat or fainting.
Nerve and Eye Problems (Peripheral and Optic Neuropathy): The use of pretomanid with Sirturo (bedaquiline) and linezolid (Zyvox) can cause nerve issues, affecting limbs and sometimes eyes. These effects, commonly associated with linezolid, may include numbness, burning sensations, tremors, balance issues, limb weakness, or vision changes. These symptoms are often reversible with dose adjustments. Notify your provider of any such symptoms, and if vision changes occur, an eye specialist consultation may be necessary.
Please ensure you communicate any health changes to your healthcare provider promptly and adhere to their instructions for monitoring and managing potential side effects.

What is the drug pretomanid used for?
Pretomanid is used in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid for the treatment of adults with extensively drug-resistant, treatment-intolerant, or non-responsive multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.
Is pretomanid FDA approved?
Yes, pretomanid is FDA approved. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August 2019 for use in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid for the treatment of a specific type of highly drug-resistant tuberculosis.
What is the mechanism of action of pretomanid?
Pretomanid works by inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acid, an essential component of the mycobacterial cell wall. Additionally, under anaerobic conditions, it releases nitric oxide, which contributes to its bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This dual action makes it effective in treating drug-resistant tuberculosis.
What is the generic name for pretomanid?
The generic name for pretomanid is pretomanid itself.
What drugs are FDA approved for tuberculosis?
The FDA has approved several drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis. The first-line anti-tuberculosis medications include isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. These drugs are typically used in combination to effectively treat active tuberculosis infections. Additionally, rifapentine and rifabutin are also approved for specific cases. Treatment regimens may vary based on the patient's condition and drug susceptibility testing.
